LOCATION
Chamber Music Weekend meets on the campus of Southern Adventist University, located in Collegedale, just east of Chattanooga, TN. The town and Southern's beautiful campus nestle in a small valley separated from Chattanooga by White Oak Mountain Ridge. Even amid the academic buildings, the rural feeling of the valley is calm and peaceful.

Even though the campus itself may seem isolated, with the city of Chattanooga just over the ridge, all the customary city services are easily accessible. Motels, restaurants, a major shopping center, the Chattanooga airport and Interstate 75 are all only minutes away.

ABOUT Southern Adventist UniversitySouthern Adventist University is a conservative Christian liberal arts school. Fully accredited, Southern has about 3000 students, and offers over 60 majors, with master's degrees available in 8 areas including nursing, education, business, and religion. The school has a strong music department with fine keyboard, choral, band, and string programs, including a 90-member orchestra. See www.southern.edu for more information.

MABEL WOOD HALLChamber Music Weekend takes place mostly in the music building, Mabel Wood Hall. This beautiful facility is well suited to the needs of chamber groups, with multiple rehearsal spaces, a fine 260-seat auditorium perfect for small ensembles, and plenty of individual practice rooms. Chamber Music Weekend is particularly grateful for the partnership and support of Southern's School of Music, which provides this facility at no cost to CMW participants.

While we do meet on a Christian campus, Chamber Music Weekend is open to everyone, and we make every effort to help you feel comfortable so you can enjoy your time with us. We do hope you will join us.
